Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the given formula, we put n = 5
h = 8 / 16
h = 1 / 2 inches
Answer:
$600 in commission for the week paying 15% on up to $1000 daily
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the sales commission, multiply the percentage 15% as 0.15 against each sales up to $1000.
Monday - 0.15 (800) = $120
Tuesday - 0.15 (600) = $90
Wednesday - 0.15 (1000) = $150
Thursday - 0.15 (800) = $120
Friday - 0.15 (800) = $120
In total that's, $600 in commission.
The value of x is 2 because we can compare like terms
The answer, in short, is that the short leg equals 15 mm, the long leg equals 20 mm, and the hypotenuse equals 25mm. but if you'd like to see how I solved it, here are the steps.
-----------------------------
The Pythagorean theorem (also known as Pythagoras's Theorem) can be used to solve this. This theorem states that one leg or a right triangle squared plus the other side of that same triangle squared equals the hypotenuse of that triangle squared. To put it in equation form, L² + L² = H².
Let's call the longer leg B, the shorter leg A, and the hypotenuse H.
From the question, we know that A = B - 5, and H = B + 5.
So if we put those values into an equation, we have (B - 5)² + B² = (B + 5)²
Now, to solve. Let's square the two terms in parentheses first:
(B² - 5B - 5B + 25) + B² = B² + 5B + 5B + 25
Now combine like terms:
2B² -10B + 25 = B² + 10B + 25
And now we simplify. Subtract 25 from each side:
2B² - 10B = B² + 10B
Subtract B² from each side:
B² - 10B = 10B
Add 10B to each side:
B² = 20B
And finally, divide each side by B:
B = 20
So that's the length of B. Now to find out A and H.
A = B - 5, so A = 15.
H = B + 5, so H = 25.
And your final answer is A = 15mm, B = 20mm, and H = 25mm
